...She ran with a pair of scissors in her hands For whatever reason, she ran with haste and a hammer in her chest She ran towards the sunset that bridges the dark and men For she knows, this world has been taken, not by sticks, but by strings and chains and curtains that veil the obvious She never looked back... though she never understood the why But it seemed the dark is not as cold as they have told There's time to burn and to burn in the dark seemed more true...

Dreams, No More
...Burn the crown that speaks of faith so the heart could break free from the chains of structured divinity and decide who the miracle maker truly is Bones turn brittle when they're dry as words turn into something else when blood conceal the lies We choose the sand over water and hope for a miracle when the choking becomes too much to bear Shame... we all wanted to be fooled so we could blame the shadows under the Sun...

Delirium
...We learned to sing the songs of our forefathers and drank the wine that they brew though we never really understood We learned how to create a spark and made it last the night We danced around the fire the fire that brought so much warmth til it burns and we learned to scream hoping the agony would fade But it stayed and it stayed to define our existence So we dream of dreams dreams we never had as a salvation in the dark and managed to climb the tree that leads to heaven only to fall and beg on the ground So we dug a grave instead desperately trying to bury the madness...

People Are People
...There's a reason or two why clowns bother me Those overgrown lips that devour the lies underneath to tell a tale of smiles dictates a system of fallacy so convincing that we embrace it as if it is happiness The eyes that paint the sky with sunshine radiant... magical They conceal a story of bones and dust And we crave for the comedy each day and we laugh and we forget that clouds get dark til it rains and we find ourselves drowning...

Midnight Circus
...Of the thoughts that make up the madness in my head there's one that stirs every bit of sanity left in my soul And I try to find the calm that I used to know But I get angry trying to find it in the middle of the confusion Why I wonder of all the things I know and those things that I thought I know this would create a nightmare that drags my soul towards a road under the scorching sun I thought hangover of regrets were the worst but obviously they are not...

Papercut
...I speak to myself whenever the stars forget to twinkle I say things that may not make sense but dealing with confusion when everything swirls in different shades of loose ends one has to admit that serenity is based on the existence of madness Perhaps, we've been denying it long enough and it hurts to be reminded of the truth Instead we desperately define the lines that separate the illusions and carry the burden of the litany of defiance and walk the common grounds barefooted...

Moments Of A Midnight Solace
...There are times, not as often as he thinks about everything else, that he wonders why people do what people do. He couldn't quite understand their reasons, though he never gave it a thought before. He continued to gaze at the night sky but there was nothing to see but the vagueness in it... ...She whispers like a guilt, like a needle in the heart Her voice lingers, her thoughts wrap the denial and the air suddenly becomes heavy... ...If he could understand, truly understand, the reasons why the need for it, then perhaps he wouldn't get lost in the middle of the confusion. Standing in the middle of it brings so many questions. But, there's only one that stands out... ...She sits upon the threshold where pain shares the sunrise She knows it must be done, She knows it must For what sense is Her existence if the purpose wouldn't be served... ...It took a while before he understood it. Perhaps it is a natural tendency to run away from the first signs of fire. Although sometimes the smoke doesn't turn into something that burns. It's a shame that the reason was too shallow. Nevertheless He smiled and walked towards the sunset... ...She speaks as the thunder, illusions rattle and familiar walls collapse Disoriented, panic collides with reasons but as with things that drift, they eventually fall...

When Differences Share the Same Road
...3 am and the road is a yellow rainbow, drifting towards a common dream of the sleepless Silence is the breeze that brings so much nostalgic sense of humor and makes one think how fast the seconds go, how life has been defined past twilight changing existence into memories you can't relive Some will, in the days to come, bring laughter Perhaps even a single, meaningful smile Some will, as certain as certainties, bring regrets and questions of "what could have been if...?" But for whatever shade the moment brings, the dawn is inevitable and everything will be at the edge of sunrise...

A Windshield Behind Points of View
...They bled and tasted blood Their own and of their brothers and everybody else who have called this land home They wept on their knees for the ground has turned red and the skies bore a hole that will never forget the afternoon when the robed monkeys came Screaming, preaching they uttered words... strange words Divine, it's what they said but filled their bellies with flesh and grains and gold and souls Sentiments have gone a long time ago, not forgotten For tomorrows never brought the yesterdays nor their brothers, their lands, their homes But the sun, in each rising only gave mornings of mournings...

Once Upon A Time Of The Golden Sun
...We have harbored the hate to save us from the threats of sadness Rumors have spread faster than the angels have bled out But it's what we've always wanted It's what feeds the reason to go on though we know we are stuck Strength, our strength, it seems a lollipop in the mouth of the Devil, burning blasphemy with the truth to mix with the confusion and chaos and we wondered why the golden calf has grown into something that haunts our pride, our faith So in despair, witnessed by the pale dots that riddled the black sky we search for the one thing that will keep us saved...
